There are doubts regarding which are the most and least healthy drinks for the health of the human body. In the beginning, people relied solely on water as the drink of choice; later, with agriculture and animal domestication, milk was added to the diets. Then came beer, wine, coffee, and tea.
Later, with industrialization, sugary drinks entered, such as soft drinks, sports and energy drinks. These are the ones that do the most damage to health, because there is a risk of developing type II diabetes, dyslipidemia (conditions related to increased risk of atherosclerosis) and cardiovascular diseases.
It should also be noted that excessive consumption of whole milk is a significant source of saturated fat that increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.
